RE: The Great American Controversy Over Underage Marriage [Part H]
Okay man I don`t even know where to start at to comment on this half so for right now I would like to thank you for mentioning that book there written by Judith. I had no idea of the existence of that book till now. Ah there is a lot I am still in the dark about :( but aaah I saw a copy of the book! they are still sold online I want me one at some point especially since I already love to read. I read a lot and my bookshelf is currently stuffed with too many books they cannot even all fit!
So this is great to know of, my collection will surely do well with such a book among it. If there are anymore such books you know of lemme know about them so that way I can keep them on check. I really wanna learn more and more about this stuff, heh will I get to knowing as much as you? Hm maybe at some point but yeah heh I am always in a constant pursuit of knowledge and truth. Even when I was really small I always questioned everything in the world and wondered about the truths and lies we live under.
naglfar94? I may not agree with everything that Dr. Judith Levine has ever said or written about the controversial topic regarding how the laws in our country address juvenile-justice-related matters , but I do agree with a lot of things that she has said and written about it; and, overall, I believe that she has a good head on her shoulders. Because you are interested in her book titled Harmful to Minors; the Perils of Protecting Children from Sex, here I provide you with an excerpt from that book that I'm sure you'll be interested in reading.>>>>Click onto https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0zzi8GKLEtSaXZBbG5sUlJ5ZzQ/view
In order to access this excerpt, you will either need to have the Adobe application or the PDF application on your computer. It contains valuable information on how extremist viewpoints on this subject matter have been gradually spiraling out of control over the course of the past three-plus decades.
Hey thank you for that! I went ahead and read the whole thing and I am..Once more stunned there is so much that goes on in the background that seems more or less covered up. Why continue to allow the fear and panic to go on? Why are they just sitting on this and letting things continue as is? All we are doing is destroying ourselves from the inside out this whole pedo panic thing needs to end sooner or later. Is doing more harm than good. I have so much to think about and reflect on after reading all that, this is crazy. But Thank you so much for showing me that ah I don`t even know where to start at with it all ah geez.
Ah guess what!? I got the book!!! Finally! Okay well not just yet gotta wait for it to come in the mail but I will have it soon and I cannot wait!! I wanna see what all is in it and stuff and see what points she brings to the table ah the anticipation is killing me!
That's good. Also, just for information purposes, I'd like to let you know that when Dr. Judith Levine published this same book through the University of Minnesota Press in 2002, many people wrote letters to the Governor of that state, asking him to ban that book from publication. Back then our nation had just suffered the 9/11 attacks on the twin towers and on the Pentagon, so it seemed that people were touchy about everything in our country back then. In any event, luckily, Jesse Ventura was the Governor of Minnesota, and he refused to ban Dr. Levine's book from publication, because he was a strong believer in freedom of speech and freedom of expression that is protected by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. He is an Independent rather than a Republican or Democrat, and he has always made it known in television interviews that he would like to see someone from an Independent political party get elected president of our nation rather than a Republican or a Democrat. If that were ever to happen in my lifetime, I would find that interesting.
Wow all of that happened at the time of the release of that book? Jeez now I see why some people called it one of the most important books released and there were a few other ones I heard of too. I was wondering is there a followup book for this in the works? Or does Judith still come out and speak? I hope she still does, and I wonder if there are others that speak out.
But still that is crazy I mean damn talk about some low down moves there going to try and get a book banned because it pretty much cuts through all the BS and get right down to things.
Also I recently stumbled on a story of another couple that may interest you but knowing you ya probably likely already heard of them heh but I will leave it here anyways I hope that helps :)

naglfar94? I'm not aware of any follow-up book that Dr. Judith Levine has published to the one that you purchased recently. I could check. In any event, one of the YouTube videos of hers that I embedded in my article was from 2011 according to the video itself. The other one was from 2013, which wasn't that long ago. I assume that she is likely still appearing on college campuses and in other public places to give speeches and lectures regarding her topics of interest. I did follow the Mary Kay LeTourneau/Vili Fualaau story closely from its outset in the late 1990s. It is very sad that their marriage ended so unexpectedly recently. However, like Doug Hutchison and Courtney Stodden, they put up with a lot of social pressures from those who did not take the time to find out all the facts behind their situation.
Hey, hey guess what? I found other books! I do not have them yet but I read the synopsis of them and they will fit right with your particular area of specialty on this topic well sorta they are related! I dunno if you already read them or own them yet but I will list them.
Consensual Consequences by Lynn Gilmore
Despised Things by Ken Kish
Moral Panic By Philip Jenkins
Heh I don`t know if you have read those or not already but if you have not well then i just helped some! haha ah points for being useful I guess heh I wanna help you as much as I can so you can write more and stuff.
Ah and I looked deeper at that couple I was not aware that they had actually broken up that is sad. I missed over that part but from what I read it seems though they split it was on pretty much good terms and they still maintain contact. It is sad their marriage ended but I mean such as a fact of life I suppose. Even if they were close in age or same age people split up, people divorce etc. it happens and at least they are still on good terms with one another which is a plus.
But yeah the things they went through the troubles at the onset of their relationship I think was not needed and that made things rather difficult the pressure they went through. And it seems he was the one whom pursued the romance as he started and even cleverly planned out how he`d get to her. But close minded people will only see it from a one sided view.
In a way this couple reminds me of Macron and Brigitte but with the difference of Macron and Brigitte did not luckily have to go through the stress and unneeded proceedings of any court cases and such for their romance. They did not go without their own set of issues but theirs went much better off.
naglfar94? If you know of any excerpts from those three books you cited, being published on the Internet, then, by all means, please do provide me with links to them so that I can see what all three of them are about. As for French president Macron and his wife, Brigitte, if I remember the story correctly about how their relationship began, I don't believe that it was so much that Macron's parents were opposed to the relationship at its outset because of the age difference but rather because Macron's parents wanted him someday to make them grandparents and they were concerned that Brigitte would be too old to bear children by the time that Macron wanted to start a family. Whenever a youngster in their early-to-mid teens hooks up with someone older in France, French parents don't seem to take as much concern over the age difference as they do about other things that they may see causing problems for their son or daughter in the future. Nevertheless, at the end of the day, it was really not for Macron's parents to decide whether or not Macron ever wanted to give them grandchildren but rather for Macron to decide. I have a very low opinion of parents who pressure their kids to give them grandchildren, because it should be up to their kids to decide if and when they ever wish to become parents. Grandchildren are nobody's entitlements. Of course, that's just my arrogant opinion. Other people may disagree with me.
